Every payment has a type, shown on **Finance → Payments** and in the payment detail panel. There are five.

| Type | Where it comes from |
|---|---|
| **Deposit** | The first payment on a deposit-structure booking |
| **Remainder** | The balance on a deposit booking, due 7 days before the event |
| **Full Amount** | The single payment on a full-amount booking |
| **Extension** | Extra hours added while an event is running |
| **PayLink** | A standalone payment link, not attached to a booking |

## Deposit and Remainder

These always come as a pair on a deposit booking. The deposit confirms the date; the remainder falls due 7 days before the event.

Worth watching the remainder. If it isn't paid by its due date the event is canceled and the deposit is forfeited. A remainder sitting at **Failed** or **Due Now** close to its date is worth a message to the client. See [Deposit vs Full Amount](/hc/djs/articles/1786047500-selecting-payment-terms-deposit-vs-full-amount).

## Full Amount

One payment, and the booking is confirmed when it clears. Nothing to track afterwards.

## Extension

Created when a client requests extra time during an event and you approve it. Separate from the original booking payment, at whatever rate you set when accepting. See [Event Extensions: Approving Extra Time](/hc/djs/articles/managing-event-extensions-and-extra-time).

## PayLink

Not tied to a booking. Created by you for anything outside the normal flow — equipment rental, a payment for a gig arranged elsewhere, a tip. See [Creating a PayLink](/hc/djs/articles/1786047500-what-are-pay_links).

## They all behave the same way

Whatever the type:

- The same platform fee applies, set by your plan
- The same payout delay applies
- Each is a separate deduction and a separate transfer

So a deposit and a remainder on the same booking are two payments, two fee deductions, and potentially two separate arrivals in your bank.

## Reading your ledger

The type column is the fastest way to make sense of **Finance → Payments** at a glance. Filtering mentally by type also tells you something useful: a lot of PayLink income means much of your work is coming from outside DJfindr, which is worth knowing when you're weighing a plan upgrade against your fee rate.
